CM takes another crack at the title and enters as the top seed for the second time. They have already swept the Pecans but no one want to face Tom Brady which is the task at hand.

This team is the highest scoring of the final four and uses a balanced line-up to fill the stat sheet.




 Team Studs:
  QB, Derek Anderson
  RBs, Brian Westbrook, Justin Fargas
  WRs, Torry Holt, Joey Galloway, L.Fitzgerald
  Also:  TE C.Cooley, WR. S.Holmes


 Years Qualified:  4 of 7

 League Titles:    ---

 #1 Seeds:       1  (2004)

 Best Finish:     2nd  (2003)
The Pecan return to the big dance after a one year absence.  They haven't done too well in their three previous appearances and have lost Stud RB's McAllister and Cadillac Williams as well as WR M.Harrison. 

Looks lopsided but this team has Tom Brady who seems to sizzle every game and has proven able to lead this team to lots of points.

 
Team Studs:
  QBs, Tom Brady
  RBs, Willie Parker, Clinton Portis
  WRs, Wes Welker, C.Chambers, R.Brown
  Also: #2 pick Marvin Harrison + #5 RB
            D.McAllister basically out very early.

Years Qualified:
  3 of 7

 #1 Seeds:       ---

 Best Finish:     3rd  (2005)

The FireAntz won the title in 2005 and are the one former champion in the field.  The team needed to beat the defending champs in Week 14 to advance and this is their MO as manager Xin Bi has a long history of pulling of upsets with nifty managing and waiver wire pickups.

This team has 150+ in two of last three games.



 Team Studs:
  QBs, D.McNabb,  D.Garrard
  RBs,  Jamal Lewis, Ernest Graham
  WRs, TJ Houshmanzada, Donald Driver
  Also:  TE A.Gates, PK Nick Folk
 

Years Qualified:
  5  of 7

 League Titles:    2005

 #1 Seeds:         2   (2002, 2005)

 Best Finish:     1st  (2005)
RubesEdge comes to playoff for the first time.  They did it the old-fashioned way... with a boffo QB (P.Manning) to WR (Reggie Wayne) combo.

While the team has capable players and a great shot to win it all... is seems to come down to how the Peyton-to-Reggie combo performs in any given week.




 Team Studs:
  QBs, Peyton Manning
  RBs, LenDale White, Thomas Jones
  WRs, Reggie Wayne, Patrick Crayton
  Also:  TE J.Witten, PK A.Vinatieri
